910 (07/2026) Chapter 5:Temporary Assistance for Domestic Violence Survivors (TA-DVS) Program • Section 8: Payments Payments Introduction TA-DVS benefits are intended to support survivor and family safety. The funding for TA-DVS is considered emergency assistance and intended to: • To help meet emergent and safety needs related to the domestic violence situation, and • To help stabilize the family so they can stay free from domestic violence. Agreed-upon payments address the specific crisis situation or specific need related to stabilization from the domestic violence. Payments are documented in case notes and in the Other Payments module in the TA-DVS ONE case. TA-DVS payments can be issued to meet the family’s needs for shelter, relocation and other factors contributing to safety and stabilization. TA-DVS payments can also be used to meet other needs that will promote safety or independence from the abuser. Payments cannot be made that would benefit the abuser. For example, payment cannot be made for past due rent or utility bills if the abuser is on the lease or bills. If a payment is denied, modified or reduced under the TA-DVS Program, when the payment is entered into the Other Payments module in the TA-DVS ONE case, the Notice of Action: TA-DVS (DVS-110) is generated and provided to the survivor. Payment processing timeframe TA-DVS payment requests are to be processed immediately, or as soon as possible, as determined by the receiving office. TA-DVS payment requests are to be processed with priority over all other program documents as the TA- DVS program is considered emergency assistance. Always enter requested payments in the TA-DVS ONE Other Payments module upon receipt of the request to ensure correct notices are generated.
